Got a group to farm Narai today Would be nice to continue tomorrow, but so many people are not interested in OPs in this order Scharnhorst Helena Boise Fiji

Hindenburg is my highest average damage Cruiser Even beats russian bias Smolensk and Stalingrad Atleast something i guess

Imo Nagato is still great. The guns are really accurate, even if its a bit on the squishy side. Amagi is... special? Some love it, some dont. I didnt like it. Feels horrible, hit and miss and overpens all the time. Its like grinding every game to get something out of it. French BBs get a bit harder to play on T8+ when they have small caliber guns and bad armor (alltho they are hard to citadel) but Republique gets atleast bigger caliber on TX. Lyon on T7 is probably OP because of the 16 shell rain or death But overall you shouldnt worry that much about hightiers just yet.

Had a look at your stats, and you are doing better with IJN BBs. If russians are OP, and US/IJN BBs are "stinkers" im not sure which line would fit you the best then Maybe try french?

And wheres the difference between JB and any other BB getting farmed by Smolensk? Fire damage is % based, so it doesnt matter what BB you are in. German BBs are probably the worst with their huge superstructure. JB has atleast speed to get into cover (or rush the Smolensk down)

Hey, better than those who cant find the exit and get a 0 star loss

Why not just keep it? You know, you might get it again from a SC....

Can only say, better to post a replay or 2 so we know which level you at. Otherwise we need to guess what you should/shouldnt do You shouldnt worry about exact mechanics and values just yet. It will distract you from learning the basics. For most of us it took years to learn all those aspects. And if you are willing to learn, you will do so by just playing and observing what happens in certain situations. I still remember back when i got Missouri and i didnt have any T9-10 BB at that time. Was a Montana bowtanking me, and i was like "can i shoot his bow or not?". Just tried it, it bounced, so i knew. Sometimes the game does weird crap tho, so learning by doing doesnt always work, as you can get a different result in like 0,1% of the times. (Citadels which shouldnt be possible f.e.).

Then try german BBs. Starting T8, they get access to Hydro, which atleast makes torps less of a threat. Alltho they are pretty clumsy, catching the GK in a bad moment with a good torpsalvo might still hit him, because its so huge and has a bad maneuvrability. Armor is best, and they are very hard to citadel.

This is just too hilarious, i hope mods arent mad about this one, but i gotta share it Playing a Coop battle, and i started to wonder, why the Bot Vladi was spotted going behind an island. Turns out, it just sat there doing nothing And he found him. Yep, sat there for a good 8~minutes or so. Perfect immitation of what our playerbase is doing, 10/10 for that one

Yes, give this guy a medal. I 100% Agree, CVs are totaly unplayable and one gets sheer frustration after 2 secs of gametime, because I CANT STRIKE A XP PINATA SHIP ALREADY! I demand, CV hull gets removed from the map: They are beyond the boundaries but still visible to the enemy player. But you cant shoot them. That way, CVs can spawn right behind the enemies lines. To make it more bareable, every Squad consists of 11* B-52 bombers dropping a nuke each. Every nuke will deal maximum damage to any target with 100% hitrate. You can also attack multiple ships simulatneously, you only have to leftclick fast enough to erase them at will. Every game will result in: Both (or all) CV players win regardless of team, and all surface ship players will lose. Also they will get banned for being AFK, since the system will detect that they didnt actively take part in the batlle. * You only need 11, since you wont be attacking the opposing CV player.

Even worse, the pre-dropped fighter is a "hello, here is my DD"-sign. You know exactly where he is, just wait a minute and return to strike him. He wont get far in that time Or drop a fighter next to the fighter and let them kill each other, while you are already attacking the DD

Well as i said, the better the player, the better Thunderer will perform. For playing ranked, id rate Smolensk worst of those 3 actually. Salem is probably not that great either because of the shortrange radar. Playing Salem in ranked couple of seasons ago in the lower ranks, sure it works, but i think DM/Wooster or Radar mino offer more utility. While i personaly also wouldnt play BB in the higher ranks, i dont think Thunderer would be a bad choice. If you can aim, you can inflict tons of damage with it, which is never bad. Those 2 players i mentioned above have 59% and 65% WR on account.

Not sure where thats coming from. Thunderer has no resemblance to Conq (even the 457 version of it) since the AP changed drastically. Its far more accurate, and actually uses standard AP shells now, not the short-fuse AP from techtree RN BBs, so it can punish BBs with the AP. From what ive seen, using it as an HE slinger is just bad. The AP is more than capable to deliever crushing blows. The only thing Thunderer needs, is a capable captain imo, as it scales more with the skill of the player. Bad players will fail with it. It lacks in the tanking departement compared to Conqueror, but it makes up for it with the guns. 2 people i know, who like Thunderer and play it with AP. Certainly not bad results.

Definetely not. The AP is brutal. Sure you might need to play it a bit further behind than other BBs, because of the thin armor (32mm) and the fact that it has a citadel. But the guns can overmatch 30mm of armor which is good against TX CAs, and they are very accurate. Occasionally you might want/need to switch to HE, but i dont see a reason to play it mostly as an HE shooter.

Last resource Coupon: Stalingrad Tomorrow: Bourgogne Last Doubloon Coupon: Boise Next one: Probably nothing

Part 2: Rams me in my smoke, then stops in it WG, you have outdone yourself, perfect copies of BB players

Yeah but then we get grind for xyz so madness repeats itself over and over ....and over

I finish stage 18 - thats enough to get the santa crates, dont care about the stuff after since PR is out of reach anyway. I would like to get Gorizia, but im pretty annoyed by the game right now. Getting a couple of guys to farm Operations would be great - that would be easy to farm XP.

Yeah, cant tell, i got the mod enabled to show all ships, so im not entirely sure about that one But i dont think you can just "lose" almost 5k dubs by accident.

Some ships in the techtree can be bought with doubloons (still i think?) If you dont want it, write a ticket to support so they revert it, but do it BEFORE you play that ship! They might do it, if you play a maximum of 1 battle with that ship.

Going from T9 to T10 you need like 300k XP 11k is a joke compared to that.

Yoshino eh? should have made a screenshot from the one which i snacked in my Enterprise First run shortened squad + slingshot with AP bombs because he had a fighter up. Then torp bomber 2 drops. Then AP bombs for the kill again = 40k damage Yeah, 23 planes, which should include 1 fighter squad to spot for our Colbert. Didnt have my own screenshot, then i could confirm. But either way, doesnt matter, he lost over half his health to 4 drops from me (2x Ap bombs / 2x TBs)

Thats actually something ive seen several times by now. 2 guys just happened to die at the same time

Maybe we should ask WG for a random game mode, where you cant do missions at all
